NEW YORK (IDN) – 끊임없이 다자간 협정에 갈등을 빚어내고 있는 트럼프 행정부는 4월 ~ 5월 뉴욕에서 열리는 2020 컨퍼런스에서 1970년 핵무기의 핵 비확산 조약(NPT)이 검토되게 됨에 따라 함께 시험대에 오르게 되었다.

5월 10일 결론을 내린 준비위원회 (PrepCoM) 의장을 맡고있는 시예드 모하마드 하스린 아이디드(Syed Mohamad Hasrin Aidid) 말레이시아 대사는 준비 위원회와는 별도로 히로시마 시장 및 나가사키 시장에게 ‘우리는 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히 내년은 NPT 50주년이기 때문’이라고 말했다.

“我们有很多工作要做,特别是因为明年是《不扩散核武器条约》签署50周年,”主持于5月10日结束的筹备会(PrepCoM)会议的马来西亚大使赛义德·穆罕默德·哈斯林·艾迪德(Syed Mohamad Hasrin Aidid)在筹备会场外对广岛和长崎的市长们说。
